Wielding a Sterling Mariposa on the stage or in the studio will make you sound – and look – in charge of your performance. With its aesthetic build and collection of professional appointments, the Mariposa delivers a quality mid-low to mid-high output that’s sure to please on all fronts. Its vintage tremolo and high-quality locking tuners let you create a classic guitar warble without sacrificing your tuning. If you’re interested in remarkably sweet guitar tones that won’t break the bank, considering a Mariposa from Sterling is a step in the right direction. In addition to its good looks, the Mariposa hosts dualcustom humbuckers that provide immediate string response with an emphasis on midrange frequencies. Thrown into this mix are a 3-way pickup selector and two volume pots, allowing you to create the perfect tonal match for any performance or recording session. Throw in a couple waves with a vintage tremolo bridge, and you’ll be able to create uniquely satisfying riffs with complete ease, courtesy of Sterling’s pickup design.
